I saw the original LW the other day and was amazed at how poorly it has aged.
There is Mel, doing his "shoot a smiley face on the target" trick. Thing was, his eyes were firmly SHUT for every trigger pull.
Then the numerous "Expendable Bad Guys" with full auto weapons and their tactic of standing in the middle of the road, firing from the hip with full auto. And can't hit anything while the protagonists hit everything they aim at, with the sole exception of fleeing helos at 500m with a Beretta 92FS 9mm. The only BG that can hit anything is the Gary Busey character who can hit a man at a few hundred yards from a helo.
And, of course, the bad guys are all Viet Nam sooper-troopers gone bad.
I fear to go back and watch the othe raction movies form the 1980s I thought were pretty good. I suspect the, too, are just crap like LW.
